Re: {Chrysler 300} 300G air cleaner decals

Hi all,

Back in the Fall of 1995, I took my car off of blocks where it had resided for 27 years. Everything to me, and John Characky who owns 2 F's, seemed to be as it came from the factory with the exception the original owner had painted the grill red to make it look like a jet engine. The original owners' son verified to me this was the only change his father made. When I restored the car, I distinctly noted the positions of all the decals as well as the air cleaner decals. Both sides were facing directly forward.

The original owner of my F resided less than 2 miles from the Meet Doubletree in a town called Temple City when he and his son drove the car from the factory in Detroit and that is where I found it in his garage.

By the way, there will be an original F at the Meet. Steve Albu will bring his. He is the second owner. The original owner lived just over the hill from Pasadena in a town called Sunland.

Wonder how many letter cars started their lives and were found so close together as Steve's and mine?

See ya at the Meet.

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} 300G air cleaner decals

I can't say for the 300G but on the 300F I've seen most period pictures showing one on the passenger air filter slightly canted out to the side. Check out this advertisement - https://300f.com/media_ad03.htm

I also have a copy of the Tom McCahill "Car Owner Handbook" where he shows a lot of pictures of the 300F. In one it shows the decal on the passenger air cleaner as above but in another it's turned inward. But you can also tell that the air cleaners are not installed properly in that shot. - https://photos.app.goo.gl/r7FDPZyYT34jMV1y6

In both these cases I didn't see one on the driver side. I know people always put two on and it would make sense to have one on the driver side. In general, Chrysler faced the air cleaner decal toward the side of the car where someone servicing the engine would see it and not straight ahead. Usually toward the direction of where you would add oil to the engine.

Nick.

Greetings all

I am sure the subject has probably been covered before but I have been unable to locate it. Question is where on the air cleaners were the decals placed by the factory? Most restoration pictures have them both facing the front of the car/engine I don't feel that is correct. THANKS for any info. Kind regards/Jack DeMar
